Rendering of the future Amex Centurion Lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport

American Express has officially announced plans to open its largest Centurion Lounge to date at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), with the opening now scheduled for 2027. The new lounge will span 30,000 square feet, making it the biggest in the Centurion network.

What Changed

  • Newark Liberty International Airport will receive a 30,000-square-foot Amex Centurion Lounge, the largest in the network.
  • The opening is now planned for 2027, per American Express.
  • We have no tracked record of a prior Centurion Lounge at Newark Airport.
  • No public end date or further details about amenities have been announced.

Our Take

Good news for Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders who fly from EWR. Newark has long lacked a Centurion Lounge, and this new flagship location will set a new standard for size and, likely, amenities. While the opening is still some time away, this is a significant upgrade for travelers in the New York metro area.
